Chesapeake Montessori School
Volume 29, Issue 1 September, 2007
From the Boardroom

The Board met on Saturday, August 25, for a six (6) hour training session, conducted professionally by The Education Group.  The Board met again on Tuesday, August 28 for its annual meeting and has a regular meeting on September 18, from 7-9pm.  Briefly put, we are charged with putting in place the global structure that allows CMS to continue its mission to offer an AMI Montessori based education.  We delegate the day to day operations of the school to the Head of the School, or administrator - Bob Mattingly. 

You have chosen CMS and entrusted CMS for the education of your children.  Thank you!  CMS offers a phenomenal Montessori education that is also recognized for its academic preparation as upper elementary graduates depart to middle schools across the region.  And, at unparalleled value.  We are proud of the 30+ year tradition and as a Board are committed to global measures and policies that further that tradition.

Please look for Board news in newsletters for updates on Board activities and ways each of you can play a role in furthering our joint goals.

Sincerely yours,

Clifford Myers

President, CMS Board of Trustees.
